Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter trailer #2

by


Today the new Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter trailer goes up on the interwebs. It shows off some of the cutscense that remind me of the Metal Gear Solid PSP games. The guys at AndriaSang have translations and in-depth info.

If you fast forward some more it will show the fighting, multiplayer and even the mini games. Something I never understood about games like this, do they hire someone to do the punching sound effect? Why is the sound effect so comical? I mean, no one really sounds like that when they are being punched!

SEGA launches new arcade in Yoyogi, Japan

by


SEGA has launched a new arcade palace in Yoyogi, Japan. This new arcade building will have 134 machines spanning across 690 square meters of space. Now if only I knew what a meter was…

They will have the latest games like AM2’s Border Break and Project Diva Arcade. The location is next to a train station, ensuring that business men will walk in to use the restroom and will be unable to resist a singing game featuring underage girls. They love that stuff.

G4TV: Sonic Colors Interview

by


Not really an interview, since you have to ask questions. More like someone at the SEGA booth telling us what the game is about, while she can barely talk due to screaming at Sonic fans all day because they were doing odd stuff at the booth.

Like always, the game is looking rather fantastic in my opinion.

Weekend Reading: Valkyria Chronicles trophies

by


Everytime someone has a list of games that should get a trophy patch, Valkyria Chronicles is on that list right below Metal Gear Solid 4. Nothing new, but is it odd that fans are still asking for it? Isn’t it a tad bit late? Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind it, but trophies won’t make the game better or worse. I guess its not going to hurt us to ask, is it?

Wow, more links than any other week. Anything that I missed?

Pre-order Sonic Colors, get creepy Sonic hat

by

Gamestop is holding some of that ‘exclusive pre-order’ stuff with Sonic Colors, unlike most of their crappy DLC exclusives; this one is a physical item. A creepy Sonic hat, to wear when you have your furry orgies.

I’m sure deep down inside SEGA knows that 90% of the Sonic fanbase is odd furry people and they will love this. But, I have to admit, its nice seeing a ‘physical’ free object for pre-order. You can pre-order the game on their site and it will ship with the hat.

Bonus Stage’s 72 Hour Sonic Gaming Marathon

by

I love me a good ol’ fashioned gaming marathon, and I was excited to learn that an extremely long one involving the Sonic the Hedgehog series has been underway for 12 hours already! Held by the folks over at the Bonus Stage Marathons blog, their goal is to play all sorts of Sonic games for 72 hours in an effort to earn $1000 for the Baltimore Humane Society. As of writing this, they’re already 34% to their goal. The marathon continues through the 11th, so I’m sure they’ll make their money. Good luck to them!

Check them out on USTREAM, and save some kitties and puppies while you’re at it.

SEGA Arcade: “Let’s Go Kids Elephant Bus” released in Japan

by

SEGA has been releasing ‘kid arcade’ games for awhile. This is one of their latest ones and its artwork creeps me out. Just to annoy parents, this ride can seat a kid and an adult.

The game takes about 2-4 minutes as you go on a bus route and pick up animals. You can select the bus routes. The game features “road safety events”, you know, to teach your kids about being safe. Also vibrating seats. For the Moms.

Sonic Colors to support classic & Gamecube controller

by

If you go to the Nintendo of America product page in the Wii’s U.S. channel it will reveal that the game will support both classic controller and Gamecube controller, for those of you that hate motion.

This is great, if it turns out to be true. But Nintendo EU’s listing for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing said it supported the Gamecube controller, which it did not. So who knows.

RetroN 3: Play your SEGA and Nintendo in harmony

by


So you want to play your SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis, but your brother has the Super Nintendo hooked up? Fear no more, now you can play SNES and Genesis off the same console, they even threw in NES as well. That is 3 consoles, all in one. This isn’t the first time a company have done this, but this one looks fairly good.

The console has 2 controller ports for each platform, so you don’t have to use a Genesis pad to play NES games. Unless you really want to. So yes, this will work with your original controllers from the official console. The console already comes packed with ‘wireless’ controllers. If you like that stuff. You get to choose either red or black for the console. Cost? $69.99.

Vanquish coming out before Halloween

by


Famitsu has given up the date for Vanquish, it will be hitting store shelves on October 21st on both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The only issue with the release date is that its Japan only.

Though, I thought I heard that the game was being released worldwide at the same time? I doubt it, but I’m sure we will probably get it in early 2011.
